can't read "expect_out(buffer)": no such variable Posted by AndyS (AndyS), 6 December 2004 I encountered this error when running a script that had been running, but that I heavily modified.I got is down to the following 4 lines: #!/usr/local/bin/expect puts "Enter 'hi', then ENTER" expect "hi\n" puts "buf: $expect_out(buffer)" When I type in "hi\n", the 'puts' works OK When I let it time out, I get this error: can't read "expect_out(buffer)": no such variable while executing "puts "buf: $expect_out(buffer)..." (file "trm22" line 4) I can't see what's going on. I'm running expect version 5.7.0 on a UNIX system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 6 December 2004 Hi, Andy .. I've NOT got my expect stuff with me but I'm wondering if you try typing in something before "hi" do you get that reported back? What if you do anarray names expect_out ... what do you see? Posted by AndyS (AndyS), 6 December 2004 I added that line to make it look like this#!/usr/local/bin/expect puts "Enter 'hi', then ENTER" expect "hi\n" array names expect_out; puts "buf: $expect_out(buffer)" That gave me the following error: Enter 'hi', then ENTER anb hi def "expect_out" isn't an array while executing "array names expect_out" (file "/home/scharmer/expect/trm22" line 4) It looks like I can't look at expect_out(...) at all. Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 6 December 2004 Hmm ... think you have your threads mixed??
